Management.

(A)
The following livestock management procedures are
acceptable and, if performed, must be performed in a humane manner:

(1)
For horn
removal, disbudding prior to eruption is permissible without pain management;
for dehorning after eruption, pain management must be used; and,

(2)
The
responsible party in determining the method of castration and use of pain
management must take into consideration the animal's age and weight,
environmental conditions, and facilities available as well as human and animal
safety.

(1)
Have a stocking
density that allows for all cattle to easily lie down at the same time in a
normal resting posture and be able to easily stand back up at all stages of
production, and in addition all animals must be able to access feed and water
without excessive competition;
